Matt Arsena, Secretary

Matt Arsena has been a Cuyamaca Woods property owner since 2009 and a part-time resident since 2012. Matt enjoys bringing people together through community events and for “almost any occasion” gatherings! As a child in Cleveland Ohio, he spent most of his time “ in the woods”, finding interest in whatever nature had to offer. Being in Cuyamaca Woods keeps him young at heart and is a constant reminder of how things used to be…simple, laid back and surrounded by people who are down to earth! Matt is currently a CFO for a development company in Point Loma with over 30 years of financial accounting experience. His goal is to become a full time resident, raising chickens and goats, while continuing to serve the community in a capacity to permit continued safety and enjoyment of life…both for humans and all creatures within!
